Imaging apparatus and method for recapturing an image captured in a multiple exposure shooting mode

摘要

An imaging apparatus receives an instruction to recapture an image last captured in a multiple exposure shooting mode after a first number of images in the multiple exposure shooting mode are acquired. The imaging apparatus generates an image into which an image captured in the multiple exposure shooting mode and a second number of images are multiple combined, the second number of images being the first number of images excluding the image last captured. The imaging apparatus displays, on a display unit, a first image obtained by multiple combining the first number of images and a second image obtained by multiple combining the second number of images after the first number of images are acquired in the multiple exposure shooting mode and before the instruction to recapture the image is received.

主权项

1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
a first receiving unit configured to receive a capturing instruction to capture an image in a multiple exposure shooting mode; a generation unit configured to generate a second composite image by combining a first image captured according to the capturing instruction received by the first receiving unit with a first composite image generated by combining a plurality of images; a display control unit configured to display, on a display unit, the second composite image generated by the generation unit as a quick review immediately after the first image is captured in response to the capturing instruction received by the first receiving unit, and to switch during the quick review, display from the second composite image to the first composite image in response to an operation by a user; and a second receiving unit configured to receive a recapturing instruction to recapture the first image when the first composite image is displayed on the display unit during the quick review, wherein the display control unit is configured to display the first composite image and the second composite image in a playback mode, and wherein the display control unit is configured not to display an image that is captured before shifting to the multiple exposure shooting mode except a base image if shifting to the playback mode is performed with one or more images captured in the multiple exposure shooting mode, and is configured to display also an image that is captured before shifting to the multiple exposure shooting mode if shifting to the playback mode is performed after the recapturing instruction is received by the second receiving unit in a state where only one captured image is retained in the multiple exposure shooting mode.
